I bought this laptop for my uncle. It is a good laptop for decent home and office usage. It is not ideal for playing high graphics games. If you need a laptop for home and office usage, this is the one!

Pros:
- Screen size
- Weight
- Keyboard with numpad
- Big HDD
- Good i5 processor

Cons
- Average Graphics Card
- Windows 8 (personal opinion - I didn't like it that much)
- RAM could have been more... although this is not a real problem as such!

On the whole, its a good i5/4GB/750GB combination!

I bought a G580 and it failed right out of the box. Lenovo's customer service is not a service---it is a nightmare. Negotiating their phone menu is like trying to get thru a maze. I returned the computer as directed and heard nothing back. Nobody in their customer service knows what department does what. Constant holds and misconnections to wrong numbers. Then just try calling back. Finally after waiting (they said they would contact me) two weeks I told them to cancel sending me a replacement. DON"T buy Lenovo.

Pros:
1. It seems to be a pretty fast machine for the most part.
2. It has the latest OS, Windows 8, only a disadvantage while getting used to this vastly different experience from any other Windows version.
3. Nothing has gone wrong yet with any of the hardware.

Cons:
1. Keyboard difficulties: (a) The standard key section is too close to the Num key section: this makes it harder to tell where certain keys are when the room isn't well lighted (very annoying!) (b) The CapsLk key looks the same whether caps lock is on or off.
2. The laptop user is led into using LOTS of junk software and software that s/he must eventually either give up or pay for.
3. Attempting to get a little laptop support online from a Lenovo rep was pretty much a waste of time and nevertheless a cost to Lenovo that the users probably pay for in the cost of the laptop.
